Shun arrogance to win the election again: Lokesh asks party legislators
VIJAYAWADA: Unveiling the party's roadmap to reach out to the masses, HRD, IT minister and TDP national general secretary, Nara Lokesh, has called upon the party leaders to be among the people for the next month to explain the government's achievements in the last year. He urged the party legislators not to ignore the party activists as they laid the foundation for the party's super success in the last elections. He said that the party is relentlessly working to achieve better coordination between the veteran and young leaders, and the legislators should take the message to the ground level. Addressing the party conclave at the party office on Sunday, Lokesh said that the people blessed them with an unexpected 94% of the seats in the 2024 elections, chiefly due to the arrogance and working style of the previous regime. He said that the YSRCP government filed false cases against all the leaders present here during the past five years. 'There was a time when, every Saturday, we didn't know whose wall they would demolish, whose house they would destroy, or who they would send to jail. The same police who saluted us today filed cases and harassed us when we were in the opposition. Such measures did not help them win the elections. In fact, the arrogance led them to dust,' said Lokesh. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Itapecerica Da Serra (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo He cautioned the party leaders to be very careful as they are in power. He asked them to shun arrogance to win the election again. He said that they should keep working to resolve the people's issues to win their hearts. He said that he came to know about the tobacco growers' issue when he visited party leader Veeraiah Chowdary's family in Ongole, and he immediately discussed the issue with the agriculture minister, Atchannaidu and the chief minister. He said that a proactive approach is required from the ministers to legislators to handle the people's grievances. He said that he had been tirelessly working to bring investments to the state, and legislators need more emphasis on the development of their own constituencies. He said that the government is working to fulfil every possible manner and in a strategic manner. "Despite financial challenges, we have implemented the 'Talli ki Vandanam' and enhanced welfare pensions for the elderly people. Salaries of employees are being paid on the first of every month. We have started Anna Canteens. We are not saying we have done everything. We must go to the people and explain the development and welfare achievements of the coalition government. We are working with the goal of systematically fulfilling every promise," Lokesh said. He said that they would make women major stakeholders in the party system. He asked the legislators to consult with local leadership before the constitution of committees. He asked the leaders to complete the formation of all the committees by July 5. He said that feedback from the people should be recorded in the My TDP app during the door-to-door campaign.

Aim for 2029 poll win, forestall YSRCP ‘misinformation campaign', Naidu tells TDP leaders
TDP national president and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has called upon the party leaders and cadres to prepare for the 2029 elections from now itself, as otherwise, the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) would seize the opportunity to garner votes by waging a misinformation campaign, the kind of which it did effectively during 2014-19. The good work done by the TDP during those years came to a naught as the people believed in the machinations of the YSRCP, which went on to set new benchmarks in corruption and push the State backward by 20 to 30 years through its regressive policies and distinct brand of vindictive politics, he said. 'We should not commit that mistake again. Each one of us should reach out to every household and explain what the coalition government did in the last one year in order to win their confidence,' he exhorted. Addressing a meeting of the TDP MPs, including Union Ministers K. Rammohan Naidu and Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, State Ministers, MLAs and MLCs as part of the 'Suparipalana - Tholi Adugu' (The First Step in Good Governance) campaign on Sunday, Mr. Naidu said the NDA government in the State has done many good things in the last one year but the task of undoing the damage that had been done by the YSRCP during 2019-24 was far from over, as basically the public debt amounted to a staggering ₹10 lakh crore and the institutions that were undermined, had to be put back on the track one by one. The YSRCP was looking to mislead the people on what had been done by the coalition in the last one year, Mr. Naidu said. Revival of Central aid One conspicuous feature of the YSRCP regime was almost all the 95 Centrally-Sponsored Schemes (CSSs) becoming defunct during its term due to non-payment of the State's contribution, but the NDA government managed to revive 86 CSSs in spite of severe constraints. Attempts to stall Central funding for the construction of the capital city Amaravati was another audacious thing done by the YSRCP with political motives. After thwarting those attempts, the coalition government could garner support for Amaravati in the form of ₹15,000 crore assistance from the World Bank and ADB. Mr. Naidu said the TDP had done social re-engineering on the basis of caste and religion across the different regions and won the trust of voters, who gave the alliance (TDP - Jana Sena Party - BJP) a phenomenal strike rate of nearly 94% in the 2024 elections. The YSRCP spent huge sums to win the elections but had to be content with just 11 seats as the people were vexed with its style of governance, whereas the TDP-led alliance offered a new hope of progress and peace. In the last one year, the NDA government maintained a fine balance between development and welfare, he observed. The Chief Minister further said the YSRCP excelled in misleading people and it was evident from the manner in which the conspirators behind the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder made the whole State believe that the death was due to a heart attack but they could not hide the facts forever. The 'kodi - kathi' incident and the alleged attempt to murder Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy by throwing a stone at him reflected his deceptive mindset. Performance appraisal Mr. Naidu told the party's elected representatives to be accessible to the people and that he was getting real-time updates of their performances, saying that only those working with true spirit of service to the people would be able to win in the 2029 elections. He made it clear that he would not tolerate indiscipline and failure to fulfil the people's aspirations, while pointing out that he was pressing for the demonetisation of currency notes of ₹500 denomination. It would help in curbing the menace of money power in elections to a large extent, he asserted, claiming that the TDP had always used the Central government support for development of the State, be it the crucial role played by it in the formation of the National Front or the United Front governments.
